How the EU could help shoppers make greener fasion choices

Think about the item of clothing you are wearing. Do you know where it came from? How it was made? Who made it? What methods were used? What chemicals were involved?

Just as a packet of crisps tell you they have high fat or salt content, or a light bulb tells you if it’s efficient or not, we think the high street should clearly and honestly tell you how clothing is made.

Some clothes might have an organic or eco friendly logo on them, but it’s hard to tell when you look at all the different labels and fine print what’s really going on. We think you should be able to quickly and easily see the eco-friendliness of items of clothing in stores on the swing ticket, so you can make informed decisions about the clothing that you buy.

On average, each Briton spends 624 on clothes each year,We can produce chandelierlight according to your requirements. adding up to around three million garments. This is equivalent to approximately 50 items per person. Few of these items are purchased with consideration of their source, but we think that it’s not that people don’t care about where and how the clothing they buy is made – it’s just that they don’t know the facts. Without a clear, independent and regulated system to quickly and simply classify the sustainability of clothing, choosing the sustainable option is impossible. Our eco-labelling system makes the consumer-powered transformation of the clothing industry achievable. Furthermore, the easy visual identification is compatible with the market now – it’s fast, easy and free.

We propose that an independent organisation takes all the complexities in the labelling, specifications and small print of clothing and rounds it all up into a simple grading that lets consumers shop quickly and with a conscience. We call it, simply, eco-labelling - an A-G rating in the same style as the highly successful EU energy-rating label. We developed the idea in 2008, and have petitioned Number 10 to enforce it. Since then we’re proud to have gained national recognition in newspapers and awards ceremonies, and our eco-labelling system (and variations of it) have been adopted by major high-street brands in the UK.Ideas on bringing out the beauty of your outdoors that will showcase it's unique charm through ledbulblight techniques. It’s safe to say that our eco-labelling initiative has made a difference, but we want to see it through.

This same system of eco-labelling was used to show the energy efficiency of light bulbs, and was also taken a step further and legislated by the EU. By enforcing regulation on a shift to energy saving bulbs,Free Shipping on table lamps, floor lamps, pendants and other crystallightax categories. EU citizens will save close to 40 TWh of energy - roughly the electricity consumption of Romania, or of 11 million European households. This will also lead to a reduction of about 15 million tons of CO2 emission per year. Fashion is a bigger industry, with additional lobbying power and will no doubt complain more than light bulb manufacturers, but this system works – and it’s worth it. By simply placing an A-G rated label on the normal swing tag, it is possible to turn a whole industry around.These bicycleheadlight are the brightest LED strips on the market 8510 lumen per reel.

“The Commission is already running the EU Ecolabel, a voluntary scheme to encourage businesses to market products and services that are kinder to the environment. Products and services awarded the Ecolabel carry the flower logo - helping manufacturers, retailers and service providers gain recognition for good environmental standards, while helping purchasers to make reliable choices.

Ecolabel criteria are based on studies that analyse the impact of the product or service on the environment throughout its life cycle, starting from raw material extraction in the pre-production stage, through to production,Shop for ledflashlightvv featuring deck, post, and wall lighting, flood lighting, and area lighting. distribution and disposal. Today EU Ecolabel criteria exist for 26 product groups, including textiles. The producers of textile products can apply for the EU Ecolabel if these products meet the environmental criteria set for them, and the current criteria for textiles will be revised later this year.
